This is The Opposite Locker - FarOut Fridays where we try and sort out the cool from the square when it comes to the automobiles of tomorrow (concept cars). This is a discussion system detailing how cool a car is, not how fast, fun, or frivolous it may be, but how well it looks in the cat's pajamas.

But, you may be asking, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

The coolness of a concept car is as much about what the concept can spawn when the ideas and design theories reach the marketplace as it is about the car in its current state holding use in one of our current hypothetical lives.

Made in an attempt to make the automotive enthusiasts of the world go crazy, the BMW M1 Hommage is a modern take on the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . This M1 recreation retains the basic shape of the original, while using more than just a straight-edge to sculpt the car. How would this modern style M1 hold up against the current crop of supercars? Does this BMW concept have the quirky personality to keep up with the cool cats, or is it just an art-deco daydream?

Cool, but only because BMW doesn't really have a supercar right now. As an hommage, it's ok. Doesn't really do it for me, and I love BMWs. It's still cool though.

Uncool. It's trying way too hard and not really succeeding, and the result looks directionless and weak.

I am one. I wanted so badly to like this, bit it really just came out looking like an M1 wrung out like a wet towel.

To each his own. But, you're wrong, just so that you know.

BMW did some sweet concepts in the 05-10 era, bit this one just sorta missed. Uncoolness unquestionable.
